Say Bye-Bye to Frizz!

What Causes Frizzy Hair?
#1 - Humidity
A humid environment is frizz-prone hair's worst nightmare! When there's a lot of moisture in the air, water molecules make their way into your hair, resulting in frizz. Think of it like this, if the amount of water in the air exceeds the amount of hydration in your hair, you'll end up with frizz. So if you suffer from frizz, keeping your hair as hydrated as possible is vital.
#2 - Dryness
If you have dry hair, you will probably be more prone to frizz. Our hair cuticles are supposed to lay flat, giving our hair that lovely, smooth feeling. If your hair is dry, your hair cuticles will open to try and absorb moisture from the air. Open cuticles = frizzy hair!
#3 - Hot Showers
While hot showers can feel amazing on the body, they can increase your chances of frizz. Hot water can dry out your scalp resulting in a loss of natural oil. It can also cause your cuticles to open, leaving your hair weakened and vulnerable to frizz. Try turning down the water temperature and finishing your shower with a cold rinse on your hair.
